content PLAGIARISM
Website content plagiarism is a pressing issue in the digital age, particularly as the internet continues to grow and evolve. This practice involves the unauthorized use of someone else’s written material on a website. Website copy plagiarism is not only unethical but can also have significant consequences for the online presence and reputation of a website. Plagiarism has several negative effects on a website’s visibility in Google’s search results. To maintain or improve search engine rankings, it’s crucial for website owners and content creators to prioritize original, high-quality content. Google’s algorithms are designed to reward such content with better visibility while penalizing duplicate or plagiarized material. By respecting intellectual property rights and focusing on creating unique and valuable content, website owners can build trust with their audience and improve their online visibility.
Now that both contents have been produced by ChatGPT, the AI Content Generator, and Grace, the Human Copywriter. It’s time to check both contents produced for Plagiarism before I upload the contents on the website. This is a great practice to help website owners upload original content only to their websites. To check for plagiarism, I used Copyscape. Copyscape is a widely recognized online plagiarism detection and content monitoring service. It was established in 2004 and has since become an invaluable tool for individuals, businesses, writers, and educators to ensure the originality and authenticity of written content. Copyscape.com provides a range of services designed to help users protect their intellectual property and maintain the integrity of their written work. One of Copyscape’s primary features is its ability to scan the internet for duplicate or closely matching content. Users can enter a URL or upload a piece of text, and Copyscape will check it against a vast database of web pages, articles, and documents to identify any instances of potential plagiarism. I run 18 pages, 9 each from content produced by ChatGPT, the AI Content Generator, and content produced by Grace, the Human Copywriter.

The results revealed that, for content produced by ChatGPT, out of the 9 pages, four pages exhibited indications of potential plagiarism. These pages include the About Us page, the website design page, and two separate blog pages. To ensure that Digiby website remains original and in adherence to SEO best practices I edited the pages that had plagiarism, rerun them through Copyscape, and uploaded content on the website after no plagiarism was detected. For content produced by Grace, the human content writer, out of the 9 pages, 3 were flagged for potential plagiarism. These three pages included the UI/UX design page, the home page, and the website design page. It’s worth noting that while these results might raise concerns, the identification of potential plagiarism serves as an opportunity for Grace to revisit and refine these sections, ensuring that her work remains original and in adherence to SEO best practices. So I sent the three pages back to Grace and she has worked on them. She sent the 3 pages back and I rerun them through Copyscape which they all passed. I have uploaded Grace’s content also onto the Digibar Website.
In my analysis, I evaluated nine pages created by ChatGPT, an AI text generator. The results were intriguing. Out of these nine pages, four exhibited indications of potential plagiarism. This suggests that while AI generators are efficient, they aren’t infallible when it comes to producing completely original content. It’s important however to recognize that the plagiarized content was limited to just a few sentences within the articles produced.
One of the most significant advantages of AI text generators is their instant results. They can generate content within seconds, making them a valuable tool for those who require content quickly. This speed can be a game-changer when you need content for timely events, news updates, or regular blog posts. On the cost front, AI text generators are incredibly economical. They require no ongoing payment plans and, in many cases, are either low-cost or entirely free. This is in stark contrast to human writers, who charge substantial fees for their services. So, if you’re on a budget and need content fast, AI text generators can be your best bet. But it is always best to check for content produced to ensure its ethical use and also free from any bias. On the other hand, the results from Grace, the human content writer showed that out of the same nine pages, three were flagged for potential plagiarism. Grace’s plagiarized content was also limited to a few sentences within the articles produced.
Grace’s content creation process however took 10 business days and came with a price tag of $1,000. The time taken to produce content is relatively long, which may not align with your need for swift content creation. Additionally, the high cost can be prohibitive for many individuals or businesses. To compare the two approaches directly in terms of plagiarism, AI text generators had a slightly higher plagiarism rate (44%) compared to the human writer (33%). This is impressive considering the time and free cost it took ChatGPT to produce all its content.
Now that both websites are live, Digiby and Digibar, I will do a survey and ask some industry players and my fellow cohorts to help me choose which website has better content. Stay tuned as I share the results of the survey. Join me on this exciting quest to understand the future of content creation and SEO. Your SEO game is about to level up!
